Definitions

  • the present invention relates to regulatory nucleic acid sequences which allow specific expression of transgenes in meristematic cells.
  • DNA can be introduced into plant cells by transforming protoplasts, microinjection, electroporation or ballistic methods.
  • the expression of the introduced genes in plant cells requires, in addition to the transcribed and protein-translated sections, other areas which serve to regulate transcription.
  • the entirety of all DNA sections that regulate the specificity of the transcription of a gene is referred to as the promoter of the gene.
  • RNA polymerase II Different regulatory elements are distinguished from one another within promoters: In the region around the transcription initiation site up to approximately 100 bp upstream are elements to which the RNA polymerase II can bind together with the basic transcription factors (e.g. TATA box, CAAT box , GC boxes). In many cases, these elements are required to ensure the general functionality of a promoter. Other sequence elements, the enhancer and silencer elements, which are responsible for the regulatability of a promoter, can be located at variable distances before the start of transcription, but also downstream in exons, introns or 3 'of the transcribed area. Specific DNA-binding proteins bind to such enhancer and silencer elements and increase or decrease the transcription rate through interaction with the RNA-polymerase complex.

  • a disadvantage of the CaMV 35S promoter is its reduced activity in plant meristems.
  • Constitutive expression is often undesirable, e.g. B. if the expressed proteins damage the normal metabolism of the cells.
  • the expression of superfluous proteins means unnecessary costs for the metabolism of the plant.
  • attempts are often made to regulate the expression of foreign genes in such a way that it remains limited to the desired tissues and / or developmental stages. For example, lethal proteins expressed in the anthers to produce male sterility. This technology requires a specific promoter that limits the expression of the corresponding proteins to the anthers of the host plant.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide regulatory sequences which allow specific expression of transgenes in meristematic cells, in particular in the meristems of the leaf axils and in the abscess zones.

Furthermore, specific or preferential inhibition of the synthesis of these enzymes by antisense, RNAi or cosuppression under the control of the regulatory sequences RS1 and / or RS2 can reduce or eliminate the tendency to abscess. For this purpose, the synthesis of the genes polygalacturonase or cellulase (endo-beta-1,4-glucanase) can be suppressed.
